Wills: Trump disabled & the 25th amendment

[Chris]

RandomGuy what is your online diagnosis of the poster above me?

[boutons_deux]

American Sociopath

Jerk. Liar. Bully. Thug. Con artist. S bag. Asshole.

In the four months since the inauguration of Donald Trump, these terms have regrettably become aptly descriptive staples of our political lexicon.

If it isn’t a flippant remark from a Republican “representative” to his outraged cons uents at a health care town hall,

it’s Trump shoving another world leader to get to the front of the line,

a Republican sailing to victory after publicly assaulting a journalist, or

an entire Republican Congress looking the other way

as allegations of treason engulf the Trump administration in seemingly never ending scandal.

a refusal by the “powers that be” to hold any of the bad actors accountable.

Trump has much in common with the garden-variety sociopath, who as most seasoned prison wardens will tell you is “innocent” of every crime that led to his conviction.

I’ve readily become privy to the hidden vulnerabilities and insecurities of the bullies, jerks, thugs, and predators who by all outward appearances don’t seem to have any

I also know a textbook sociopath when I see one.

From Wiki:

Antisocial personality disorder is defined by

a pervasive and persistent disregard for morals, social norms, and the rights and feelings of others.

Individuals with this personality disorder will

typically have no compunction in exploiting others in harmful ways for their own gain or pleasure, and

frequently manipulate and deceive other people,

achieving this through wit and a facade ofsuperficial charm, or

through intimidation and violence.

They may display arrogance and

think lowly and negatively of others, and

lack remorse for their harmful actions and

have a callous at ude to those they have harmed.

Irresponsibility is a core characteristic of this disorder:

they can have significant difficulties in maintaining stable employment as well as fulfilling their social and financial obligations, and

people with this disorder often lead exploitative, unlawful, or parasitic lifestyles.

The APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, text revision (DSM IV-TR), defines antisocial personality disorder (Cluster B):

A) A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three or more of the following:

1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
2. deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;
4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
5. reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
6. consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.

B) There is evidence of conduct disorder with onset before age 15 years.

that's a professional, just one of many who have decided, after months, years of observation, that your BFF Trash is one seriously SICKO mother er and is a risk to USA.

People who STILL support and defend Trash are either stupid, ignorant, or sickos themselves, or all three, and are themselves a threat to USA.

pretty sure most dems would be fine with a compromise of losing waters, pelosi and trump

Drain the swamp?

[RandomGuy]

I'm not qualified to render that diagnosis. Neither are you, tbh.

I'm not asking you if you are qualified, I am asking you what it would look like.

I have had to personally deal with dementia in one of my wife's parents. It is subtle and strikes about Trump's age generally.

Would dementia take the form of erratic statements?

[RandomGuy]

At what level of dementia would you support Trump's, or any president for that matter, removal?

What would be the kinds of things that Trump might say that would worry you?

RandomWebMD

I noticed you dodged the question.

Why is that?

Do you not think that mental stability in a president is important?

I said, “You don’t use steam anymore for catapult?” “No sir.” I said, “Ah, how is it working?” “Sir, not good. Not good. Doesn’t have the power. You know the steam is just brutal. You see that sucker going and steam’s going all over the place, there’s planes thrown in the air.”

It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said—and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers. I said, “What system are you going to be—” “Sir, we’re staying with digital.” I said, “No you’re not. You going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it’s no good.”

You ask me what it would look like? I think I know what it might look like, but not enough to diagnose someone I don't even ing know.
My Father died of Alzheimer's. I'm fairly familiar with the signs of dementia in those I know well. But the symptoms can vary significantly. Since my recent cluster of strokes, I often communicate badly...as in moving word order around and generally nonsensical syntax mistakes. My Father didn't make nonsensical, erratic statements...he stopped making them altogether. I make them all the ing time. Dementia? Nope.

Erratic statements could certainly be one sign, but not necessarily the defining symptom.

[TeyshaBlue]

Look, I think the guy is goofy as . I can't think of a point I agree with him on. But dementia? Really?
I might lean closer to him being a high functioning Asperger's victim. Dangerous? A case can be made that his actions and statements are/could be. But demented? Nope.

Holy man, hope you're doing better now Teysha. Sorry about your dad. I saw my two neighbors both get dementia and it was so rough on their kids.

I only have experience with my two neighbors. The husband would repeat himself a lot, like he'd tell you something he told you two minutes ago. Nicest guy in the world though. Then when he died (don't know if it was Alzheimer's or dementia, I'm not sure the difference) the wife started showing really bad signs within a year, like forgetting to eat, having months old food in the fridge, not knowing people's names, saying she had dinner parties with people who were never there, etc. It seemed like it happened overnight with her though, and I talked to her almost every day while watering my tomatoes and taking my dog outside.

My grandmother has dementia right now and it's basically like she's living some version of the movie Memento as a 20 year old version of herself. She knows she's married to Charlie (my grandfather) but she doesn't recognize the Charlie she's married to right now.

When I see her, it's like she's seeing an old friend she knew 50 years ago. We have the same short conversation multiple times in an hour.

Also, there are people in her closet who are there to take her away so she's afraid to go to bed by herself.

Trump is an angry paranoid old man with a limited grasp of truth, but until he has trouble recognizing his own kids I think it's safe to put aside the dementia/alzheimers talk.

[TeyshaBlue]

Thx man, but I'm fine. Just rewrote my I/O a bit is all.
And yeah, Alzheimer's/dementia is hard to watch much less cope with.

Whatever the specifics, Trash is in many professionals' opinions, people willing to risk their licenses to practice by going public, one mentally disordered, ill mother er.

I dunno.

When you start reading the transcripts of his interviews, and how he works when he doesn't have a prepared script in front of him, one has to wonder. Some of his answers are incoherent, and am not exaggerating.

Currently watching my 95 year old grandma slowly fade away mentally. Been tough as I see her a few times a week and she doesn't remember anything from my last visit, which sucks because I've got my first baby on the way and have to tell remind her everyday her she's going to have her 15th great grandchild. Happened rather quickly too as she was sharp only a year ago.

Lost my great grandma to Alzheimer's when I was around 10 and that was tough as a child having her not know who I was, couldn't imagine having it happen to my own parents.

Thanks. I really am just fine. I actually gained a superpower..StrokeHand™. I lost the feeling on my right side so when you drop that hot dog on the coals when you're cooking out, I'm your man. I'll grab that sucker for ya. . And no, I've not noticed any impact on performance or composition. That's always been spastic.
